This coming Sunday we will be talking to Amy Stewart. Her books consist of: Wicked Plants, Wicked Bugs, The drunken Botanist, Flower Confidential along with the Kopp Sisters Novels. She will be on with me on Sunday from 9-10am July 21st 2024 and after the show my producer will publish the show on apple podcast and the ksfo.com website, just in case you miss it.
This is going to be a fun show. I've been reading the book and it is so fascinating to learn about all sorts of people who are tree collectors, preservers, artists etc. who have amazing stories about their passion of tree collecting. No two stories are alike. I highly recommend picking up some of her other best sellers, wicked plants was my first Amy Stewart book:) I filled in for my dad when he went on one of his trips and got to do the interview with Amy. I've been following her for years on facebook as well :)
I have my own history of growing up with a talking tree. He was a big ole oak tree on our property in San Rafael. The path to the top of the stairs had to go around him. His face was gnarled looking and had such character. He was mine as I was the only one who could so easily see his features. I'm also about to take a beginning bonsai class this week. I've been fascinated with the living artform for most of my life and I feel a lot of what these tree collectors do and how they started. I have dropped a few moisture face wetters while reading some of these stories.. Yes it's that good ;) I hope I meet you at one of her upcoming book signings! Edie
